96 pairs in 8 categories
Two options, pick one, no explaining yourself (yet). This or that is the fastest couples game there is, and the answers you split on are usually more interesting than the ones you share.
Play the game below on one phone: you pick, pass it over, your partner picks, and you both see how many you matched. Every pair is also listed underneath if you'd rather read them out on a road trip.
Pick a category. Player one goes through all twelve pairs, then hands the phone over without showing their answers.

This or that?
The easiest place to start, and the category couples argue about most. Expect strong opinions about pineapple.
Useful as well as fun: the answers are basically a list of dates the other person actually wants to go on.
Small preferences that shape living together. Good to know before you share a bathroom or a thermostat.
The answers here predict how your first big trip together will go. Better to find out now.
A bit more personal. These ones lead to good conversations when your answers don't match.
Lighter versions of big questions. A good way to bring up where you might live or what you want, without making it heavy.
Low-stakes, high-argument. Perfect for a lazy night in.
Half this-or-that, half would-you-rather. Neither answer is easy, which is the point.
Pick your pairs, answer them yourself, and send the link. Your partner tries to guess what you picked, and the site scores every answer. It works whether you're on the same couch or in different time zones.
Use any from this page or write your own. Inside jokes make the best ones.
Your picks are the answer key. Set how many they can miss and what's at stake.
They guess on their own phone. You both see the score and every miss.
Ready-made quizzes, mostly this-or-that. Answer about yourself, then send to your partner.
Matching on food or movies doesn't mean much. Plenty of happy couples disagree about pineapple. The categories worth paying attention to are everyday habits and home: early bird or night owl, clean as you go or all at the end, live near family or far away. Those are the differences you'll feel when you share a place.
The love and relationships category is useful too. If one of you picks “talk it out right away” and the other picks “cool off first”, that's worth knowing before the next argument rather than during it. For more on how you each show affection, the love language test goes deeper.
And if the game left you wanting longer conversations, try the questions to ask your boyfriend or questions to ask your girlfriend.
One person reads two options and you each pick one, ideally at the same time so nobody copies. Score a point for every match, or skip scoring and just talk about the ones you split on. The game on this page does the scoring for you on one phone.
The best pairs are ones where both options are reasonable: early bird or night owl, beach or mountains, planned date or spontaneous date. Questions with an obvious right answer don't start conversations. Mix easy ones like food with a few about your relationship.
Yes. Send a pair, have them reply with their pick before you reveal yours. Or make a this-or-that quiz on Couples Quizzes: you answer it first, send the link, and the site shows how many they matched.
This or that is usually quick preferences, like coffee or tea. Would you rather is a harder, often hypothetical choice, like knowing the future or changing the past. Both work for couples; the 'Harder choices' section above mixes the two.
Ten to fifteen is a good round. It takes about five minutes and leaves room to stop and talk about the surprising ones. If you play the game here, each category is twelve pairs.
Build a this-or-that quiz about yourself and send it over.
